Wow, what the hell? Just over 6 inches is on the ground at my place on Heritage. From the radar it looks like it started around 5:30. 3 inches and hour is pretty crazy.

So, how was your drive into work today?

Kybosh · 04-10-2008, 07:43 AM

Haven't left the house yet but . . . booooo-hisssss.

It wasn't snowing when I got on the bus this morning in North Central around 6:15. I fell asleep and woke up downtown. Bit of a shock. I thought the bus may have driven back in time to January.

The one day I decide to walk home (didn't bring a jacket/sweater) from work this happens. I was soaked!

Here in the south-east there is about a foot and a half of snow with no end in sight

I tried to get to the train this morning but I moved about 5 feet in half an hour just turned around and came home

Pretty ridiculous

Where in the SE are you? That seems like a pretty big difference from whats on the ground at my place.

I live in Harvest Hills. When I started my ride in, there were a few flakes coming down. By the time I was halfway, I couldn't see as my glasses were caked in wet snow. A very slow pedal in at that point.

At 6:30 in Okotoks there was barely anything on the ground, but the further north I drove the nuttier it got.

Just got to my office downtown and I looked like a snowman from the walk from the train station.

Sorry, my fault. I washed my car Yesterday evening. And yes, this is getting tiring.

Pagal4321 · 04-10-2008, 08:10 AM

This is getting utterly ridiculous.

Well, now I'll just delay my drive to campus, as I'm sure traffic is utter hell right now.

Deer Ridge area, however I did exaggerate out of frustration

I just went out and measured its about 10 cm

Antithesis · 04-10-2008, 08:15 AM

In McKenzie Towne, I didn't get even to the traffic circle from my place about a mile away in 45 minutes or so. I have a course to go to today, we'll see how that works out. I'll wait an hour or so and see how things go.

Filthy dirty snow.

You'd best be gone by afternoon.

burn_this_city · 04-10-2008, 08:31 AM

It took me 35 mins to go 100m down 22x, I turned around after the bridge over deerfoot and came home. Fuggg that

Bob · 04-10-2008, 08:44 AM

This weather sucks. I brushed off one side of my car and suddenly it's covered again! Crazy!

~35 minutes to get to work isn't too bad. Once this year it took me over an hour ...

GirlySports · 04-10-2008, 08:50 AM

i just got to work an hour late.

This is what happens when the Flames play a complete game.
Hell freezes over

Resolute 14 · 04-10-2008, 08:53 AM

Hour and a half to get from Cranston to Kingsland. 14cm already, and it is still coming down heavy.

My favourite part of today is that they are calling for a thunderstorm tonight.

If that just doesn't scream Calgary, I don't know what does.

Ozy_Flame · 04-10-2008, 08:54 AM

I never had such a fun time on a bus ride down the hill!! Whoooo for Public Transit! Calaway Park's got NOTHING on you!!!

I am willing to put up with 15 more snow days...

Jayems · 04-10-2008, 08:57 AM

this destroyed any hope of doing what I had planned today, and the plans of 2 others. Oh well, there's always monday. Now I get to go back to bed.
